商隊 PvP

Alpha-1 — 商队 PvP。

You won't be able to see inside specifically but as part of the caravan structure itself there will be little hints as to what the cargo is. So for example if you've seen some of our recent footage with caravans you see sitting on top of the caravan there's some gold or some silver or some iron. – Steven Sharif

商队周边会形成一个开放式 PvP 区域，区域内的玩家会被标记成战斗员 (紫色)。

• 在决定进攻或防守商队前，玩家将无法确切看到商队运输中的货物。但会有视觉提示显示车上的货物，例如金、银或铁。
  • 商队时装外观将不影响视觉提示的效果。
• 玩家将可以透过界面视窗决定攻击、防守或无视商队。
  • 距离商队多远视窗才会出现，将取决于玩家先前作为攻击方或防守方的表现。
• 要成功击毁一个商队，将需要一个队伍。
• 在商队拥有人登出或与服务器连接中断 5 至 10 分钟后，商队才会消失。

It's still intended from a design standpoint to be a window that is presented to the player based on proximity; and that proximity it can be greater depending on your performance as either a defender or an attacker in previous raids. – Steven Sharif

双方皆有诱因鼓励玩家加入，并将于 Alpha 及 Beta 阶段测试。

• 大部分诱因都是社交性的，而且是由玩家之间非正式协议而成。

The caravan defender role is going to have its own progression questing and rewards associated with it that are going to attract a certain subset of players and then vice-versa wise we're going to have incentives that appeal to the more highway brigand type players; and you might not always be on one side or the other: that might change depending on what your interests are in the at the time. But obviously those types of systems need to have robust consequential type rewards and benefits associated with them in order to compel the player; and that's something obviously we're going to test in alphas and betas and see how performant it is in actually attracting players to participate and make sure it's not just one-sided so-to-speak. – Steven Sharif

Also the hope would be that the people who are running the caravans can offer their own rewards that "Hey if you come help me defend this thing I'll give you some cut", or that these are my friends or these are my guilds- that a lot of the sort of incentive is social and created between players. – Jeffrey Bard
